Reverse Gravure Coating
Black Clawson Coater 
At Strata-Tac, we have two Black Clawson coating lines. They are each 63" wide and are twins of each other. We use a reverse gravure coating method.  The gravure coating process relies on an engraved cylinder running in a coating pan, which fills the engraved dots or lines of the roller with the coating material. The coating material is either the adhesive or the printable top coat. The excess coating on the roller is wiped off by the Doctor Blade and the coating is then deposited onto the substrate as it passes between the Engraved roller and a Pressure Roller. This allows Strata-Tac to be very consistent on applied coat weight for both adhesive and top coating. This way performance of our coated products are always at their peak.

Dear Tom,

Label Expo was great. Attendance was reported to be up over 12% as compared to 2010. A record attendance of 14,335 was reported. We certainly felt it. Thanks to all of you who visited our booth. As a result of how well the show went, Strata-Tac will be exhibiting at Label Expo Europe in 2013!

The show was busy. We tend to focus on the several unique constructions we can put together. We are good at the simple film products too! Thanks for thinking of us for the custom projects.  You can also contact us for your standard pressure sensitive bopp and polyester products. We keep a large inventory of film so we can respond to your needs quick. We do this every day!
The TLMI show is coming up.

Label Expo 2012 
Label Expo Americas
We will be at booth number 548 at the Label Expo show.  Please let us know if you will attending. We would love to see you there.
Up to Date Spec Sheets 
Please note the following changes for your records.

1.  Strata-Tac is discontinuing the PLA film line.  We have found that our integral cards made with DFA050 are a more popular choice for earth friendly ID cards. DFA050 is made from a "green" polymer. DFA050 integral cards are:
  • Safe
  • Non-toxic
  • Do not contain heavy metals
  • Do not use plasticizers
  • Are lightweight, and
  • Are easily recycled.

The adhesive and coatings we add are water based. We are finding more interest in cards that can be recycled rather than cards that are compostable. It is much easier for a user to recycle a card than it is to put it in a compost bin. Please let us know if you should have any questions.

 

2.  RTP065 is being replaced by RDP065.  This is an updated item code to reflect a change in the removable adhesive.  Sample rolls are available upon request.

New Pricing Effective March 7th 2011

2011/01/18 21:51 に Tom Yeager が投稿

Dear Valued Customer:

Thank you for your continued support of Strata-Tac. Due to continued rising costs of papers, films, chemicals, and adhesives, it necessary to announce a price increase.  This new pricing will be effective March 7th.  This price increase will break down as follows:

1.     All paper products will increase by 3.25 %.  This includes most item codes beginning with S or T.  This is mainly our silicone liners and two liner transfer tapes.

2.     All film products will increase by 4.25%.  This includes most item codes starting with C, D, O and R.  This also includes products that have film in them such as TSCL037. The film products are mostly the polyester over laminates, white film stocks, and back films. 

3.     DFU050 is our premium clear back laminate. Unfortunately, this product has seen more pressure than any other due to the components used in making this product. DFU050 will increase by 10 %.

Please know we do not take the decision to raise prices lightly. As you know we have expanded our coating capacity.  This increased capacity has made our production process more efficient.  We continue to negotiate with the raw material suppliers to make sure we are able to provide the highest quality product for the most competitive price. We also continue to develop new products offerings.  These new product offerings will allow you to present options for your customers for either new opportunities or as a way of keeping costs down. 

New price lists will be available for distribution after March 7th.  If you need help figuring your new pricing in the mean time please contact us. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

 

Sincerely,

Tom Yeager
VP Sales and Marketing
